I would definitely leave this to the programmer. Values are retrieved
by, supplied by, and validated by the programmer. Let them deliver it,
too.

I've found this structure to be pretty straightforward and flexible
for styling:
<form>
<fieldset class="some_fieldset">
<div class="some_field {{ form.some_field.field.required|
yesno:"required," }} {{ form.some_field.errors|length_is:0|
yesno:",errors" }}">
<label for="id_some_field">{{ form.some_field.label }}:</label>
<span>{{ form.some_field }}</span>
{{ form.some_field.errors }}
</div>
... more fields ...
</fieldset>
... more fieldsets ...
<div class="submit"><input type="submit" /> or <a href="">cancel</
a></div>
</form>
